Jumping Back on the Bandwagon

I have been meaning to update my neglected blog. I have quite a few post subjects written down, but (obviously) have not managed to get any actually written.

I read quite a few blogs. It’s definitely a hobby and I love to get design ideas, recipes, etc. from poking around (or “blog stalking”). Of course, there’s also a downside to all of this – my perfectionist tendencies immediately prompt the little voice in my head to say, “These blogs are practically professional. You can’t compete with that.”

Well, it’s actually true. I can’t. I work full time, we rent and my little Canon point-and-shoot does not take drool-worthy photos. Trust me, I’ve tried. But you know what? It’s time to be fine with that. Right now I’ve got an amateur little blog that approximately 3 people read (on a good day). If I post more regularly and it grows – awesome. If not, that’s ok too.

Hopefully my posting will be a lot more regular and will also become a bit more interesting because we are transitioning from a couple to a family of three. Baby Holmes will be joining our family mid-December and we could not be more thrilled.

I actually have been keeping a pregnancy journal and have recently started doing the Weekly Update posts. So while is my first post in a very long time I’m going to backdate some others to keep it fairly chronological.

The Top Three Questions right off the bat:

1. When are you due? December 14
2. Are you going to find out the gender? We already know :)
3. How are you feeling? First Trimester wasn’t too bad; Second Trimester has been rough.

I’m also looking forward to sharing some design ideas as we decorate the nursery, will hopefully be sharing some house hunting adventures this fall and may even throw some recipes in there when (if) I get past the pregnancy food aversions that have relegated me to the kids menu.

Cheers!
